    A Small Potato Reason to Shop Early For the Holidays

    There is more than candy canes stuffing the stockings this year – as the Small Potatoes™Magic Toy Maker App launches giving users the opportunity to personalize their very own plush character based on the wildly successful television show and movie, Small Potatoes, created and produced by Little Airplane Productions. The playful app delivers more than just a digital experience providing users with the opportunity to create holiday-themed plush toys that are delivered directly to a customer’s doorstep. With one week to go, it’s time to order your potato.

    The app opens with lively music and a magical factory visitors can enter and meet the cheery Small Potatoes who love to play dress up. Customizing is fun and easy:

    • Mix-and-match to customize hundreds of options with costume themes such as an Angel, Snowman, Santa, Santa’s helper elf and fancy New Year’s Eve fanfare
    • Design and Personalize the Small Potatoes hangtag
    • Order by early November 2014 for an on-time holiday arrival

    The six-inch high characters are made from chenille-style fabric for extra softness and retail for $19.99 including shipping. Manufactured by Animal Magic, one of the most reputable global plush toy manufacturers. The personalized Small Potatoes Magic Toy Maker app launches the company’s newly formed Factory-to-Consumer division called F2C Ltd. The Company will ship throughout the US during the holiday season and expand its distribution destinations in the New Year.
